<p>If you upload your essay and it is > 500 words, will the common app cut it off? Likewise, same question for the additional infor section. </p>
<p>If you do a print preview and all the words show up, is it safe to assume nothing got cut off (even if it is over 500 words?)</p>
<p>The uploaded essay will not be cut off after 500 words. I’m pretty sure none of the uploads get cut off. It’s still best to stay as close to their word limit as possible, though.</p>
<p>The print preview is pretty much what the colleges will see, so if nothing is cut off, you’re good.</p>
